Translation: "I received a letter from the CFL on behalf of the CFLPA, and they are threatening hefty fines/suspensions. My own lawyers have instructed me to back off my comments and feign some love for Rottier and promise I will never do this again. I still think Rottier is a piece of ****, but I will do whatever it takes to help get me out of this current mess and have to learn to keep these comments in private."

From what I gather from Mike Morreale on specs show just a minute ago, the PA won't be happy until there is punishment. They are still pissed that players get fined the next day, but not Hervey.

Good on Spec for asking the hard questions though there was no real answers.

What pisses me off is the PA views this as something that makes the league as a whole look bad, yet they can't see how the Williams situation is going to screw them up going forward with imports.
